Individuals conducting business activities without forming a legal entity are required to register with HMRC (Her Majesty's Revenue and Customs) for the purpose of filing annual tax returns called self-assessment.

Any activity from which a person derives income is considered reportable. This may include the following types of activities:

● Income received from renting movable and immovable property.
● Income from investments, including cryptocurrency.
● Income from activities such as courier services, taxi etc.
● Income received from activities outside of the United Kingdom.

If you have already started engaging in self-employment activities, the deadline for registering as a self-employed taxpayer in the UK is October 5th of each year. This means that you must register as a self-employed individual before the specified deadline in order to comply with tax legislation.

The reporting period for self-employed individuals is from April 6th to April 5th of the following year.

The deadline for filing the tax return and making payment for the tax assessed by HMRC based on your submitted report is January 31st. It is important to ensure that your tax return is submitted and any tax liability is paid by this date in order not to attract penalties.

Before applying for self-employment registration, you need to register for National Insurance and obtain a National Insurance Number (NIN). The National Insurance Number is a unique identifier used for tax and social security purposes in the United Kingdom.

National Insurance in the United Kingdom is a system of personal income taxation that is collected to fund social security and state pensions. There are different classes of National Insurance, and self-employed individuals typically fall under Class 2 and pay a rate of £3.45 per week..

Registration for National Insurance is available to all residents in the United Kingdom. Verification through a selfie with a passport is required. Additionally, you may be invited to an interview for a face-to-face meeting. This is a routine procedure that takes no more than 10 minutes.

The issuance of a National Insurance Number (NIN) typically takes up to 16 working days after the applicant's verification process.

After receiving the NIN it’s time to register for Self-Assessment. Upon completing the registration, the tax authority will issue you a unique taxpayer reference number (UTR), which will be used for submitting tax returns.

The entire cycle typically takes up to 30 working days to complete.
